SCOTT HAMMOND, OF FREEPORT, ILLINOIS.

LAMP.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 27, 1909.

Application filed March 17, 1909. Serial No. 483,904.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Soo'rr HAMMOND, a citizen of the United States, residing at Freeport, in the county of Stephenson and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Lamps; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to new and useful improvements in lamps and more particularly to that class adapted to be used by miners and my object is to provide a lamp of this kind, the body and spout of which are cast in one piece.

A further object is to cast ears adjacent the upper end of the body to which is pivotally secured the cover for the lamp and a further object is to cast a socket on the body of the lamp to receive a suspension hook.

Other objects and advantages will be hereinafter referred to and more particularly pointed out in the claim.

In the accom anying drawings forming part of this app ication, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the lamp complete. Fig. 2 is a central vertical sectional view therethrough, and, Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional View through the upper end of the lamp.

Referring to the drawings in which similar reference numerals designate. corresponding parts throughout the several views, 1 indicates the body of the lamp and 2 the spout therefor, said body and spout being cast from one piece, the body being adapted to contain oil, while the spout 2 is adapted to contain any suitable form of wick (not shown). A pair of cars 3 are also cast integral with the body 1 and adjacent the upper end thereof between which is pivotally secured a tongue at, which tongue is integral with a cover 5, said cover having a flange 6, which is adapted to extend into the upper end of the body 1 and form a perfect closure therefor. The outer face of the body 1 is also provided with an integrally cast socket 7 which is cast around the threaded end 8 of a suspension book 9 thereby making the hook 9 a fixture with the body '1 and holding the same against removal from the socket.

' By constructing the lamp in this manner and casting the various parts thereof, it will be readily seen that the lamp will be indestructible and will have no joints or points of leakage and it will further be seen that the lamp may be very cheaply constructed and comparatively light and will not become battered and broken as is the casewith lamps constructed of tin and similar metal.

IVhat I claim is:

A device of the character described comprising a receptacle having a wick containing spout and a socket forming extension all cast integral, a closure for said receptacle having an inward extension received within the upper end of said receptacle, also in a single cast-ing, and an attaching hook having a shank initially adapted for insertion into said socket extension of said receptacle, said closure having hinged connection with said receptacle.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.

soorr HAMMOND.
